  • https://www.drthrasher.org/health-of-occupants DrThrasher_Health of Occupants - Dr. Thrasher published a case study on a family of five and pet dog who rented a water-damaged home and developed multiple health problems. The home wasanalyzed for species of mold and bacteria. The diagnostics included MRI for chronic sinusitis with ENT and sinus surgery, and neurological testing for neurocognitive deficits.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/reyes-syndrome DrThrasher_Reyes Syndrome - Dr. Thrasher did a case study on an infant that died at 68 days of age with Reye’s syndrome. The infant and parents were exposed to airborne fungi, bacteria and toxic bioaerosols resulting from water intrusion in the home. Reye's syndrome is characterized by acute encephalopathy and hepatic injury.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/molds DrThrasher_Molds - Fungal contamination is a major contributor to sick building syndrome. Molds grow on surfaces as well as in hidden areas such as in carpet, behind wall paper, inside interior and exterior walls, in attics, in subflooring and in HVAC systems.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/alternaria DrThrasher_Alternaria - Alternaria species are abundant in the environment. They are normal agents of decay and decomposition of organic matter. Alternaria are also present indoors as a result of water intrusion and are found on building materials.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/aspergillus DrThrasher_Aspergillus - Aspergillus contains several species. Some are pathogenic to plants, animals and humans. Several species produce mycotoxins and are found in damp indoor spaces.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/cladosporium DrThrasher_Cladosporium - Cladosporium species are widely distributed in air and rotting organic material. They are common in water-damaged buildings readily growing on building materials that contain organic compounds. The genus contains over 30 species.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/cryptococcus DrThrasher_Cryptococcus - Cryptococcus neoformans is endemic to the dry desert climates of California and Arizona. It can cause serious infections in animals and humans. C. gattii, has been infecting animals and humans in the northwest region, and it thrives in moist environments.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/eurotium DrThrasher_Eurotium - Eurotium species are one of several genera that are indicative of water intrusion and resultant amplification of fungi (molds) and bacteria. Eurotium species are important fungi in moisture-damaged structures adding to the toxins and antigens in these environments.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/fusarium DrThrasher_Fusarium - Fusarium is a filamentous fungus found on plants and in soils and has also been identified in both indoor and outdoor air samples. Fusarium species produce several mycotoxins including trichothecenes (DON and T-2).
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/penicillium DrThrasher_Penicillium - Penicillium is a genus of mold-forming fungi that grow on stored feed , growing plants, crops and damp indoor spaces. Some produce antibiotics, some can be opportunistic pathogens and some produce mycotoxins, including patulin.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/stachybotrys DrThrasher_Stachybotrys - Stachybotrys is one of several species of mold capable of producing mycotoxins under certain environmental conditions and is often found in water-damaged buildings. Stachybotrys may produce several different mycotoxins, including a class known as trichothecenes. The trichothecenes are potent inhibitors of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/mycotoxins DrThrasher_Mycotoxins - Mycotoxins are produced by some fungi. Mycotoxin production is influenced by substrate composition, water activity and temperature and can cause mycotoxicosis in humans and animals
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/aflatoxins DrThrasher_Aflatoxins - Aflatoxins are produced by different species of Aspergillus, particularly flavus, oryzae, fumigatus and parasiticus, as well as members of the genera penicillium. Aflatoxins can contaminate corn, cereals, sorghum, peanuts, and other oil-seed crops. Aflatoxins are carcinogenic to humans and animals.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/endotoxins DrThrasher_Endotoxins - Endotoxins are LPS complexes of the outer cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, usually pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella and Pseudomonas. LPS are present in the indoor environment of normal and water-damaged homes and buildings
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/ergot-alkaloids DrThrasher_Ergot Alkaloids - Ergot alkaloids are a complex family of mycotoxins derived from prenylated in several species of fungi. Most commonly, these mycotoxins are associated with species of Claviceps, Epichloe and Neotyphodium.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/fumonisins DrThrasher_Fumonisins - Fumonisins are produced by species of Fusarium. In the U.S., the the ingestion of moldy corn was first associated with adverse health affects in farm animals.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/gliotoxin DrThrasher_Gliotoxin - Gliotoxin is from a group of fungal mycotoxins called epipolythiodioxopiperazines (ETPs). The ETPs are produced by a wide variety of fungi including aspergillus, chaetomium and penicillium.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/ochratoxin DrThrasher_Ochratoxin - Ochratoxins are metabolites of Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium species. OTA is mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic and immunosuppressive and causes mitochondrial damage.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/tremorgens DrThrasher_Tremorgens - Tremorgenic mycotoxins fit into two classes that act at the level of the central nervous system. The first class are mycotoxins that cause paralysis and respiratory arrest and the second class causes true tremors.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/trichothecenes DrThrasher_Trichothecenes - The trichothecenes are a large family of metabolites produced by several species of molds including Fusarium, Myrothecium, Trichoderma, Trichothecium, Cephalosporium, Verticimonosporium, and Stachybotrys. They are toxic to humans, other mammals, birds, invertebrates, plants and eukaryote cells.
  • https://www.drthrasher.org/bacteria DrThrasher_Bacteria - Bacterial toxins co-occur with mycotoxins in moisture-damaged indoor environments. These compounds are measurable also in settled airborne dust, indicating that inhalation exposure takes place. In attempts to characterize exposures to microbial metabolites not only mycotoxins but also bacterial metabolites have to be targeted by the analytical methods applied.

  • Alan Venable - Basically useless. I wouldn't recommend it on that basis

    I guess I made the mistake of thinking I could store this on the shelf for a while. I bought this in Sept 2015 and tried to use it for the first time in February of 2016. it was totally congealed - not just in the tip but the entire bottle. Basically useless. I wouldn't recommend it on that basis.

  • Evan Hershey - Really Putrid Stinky Stuff

    I had forgotten I even ordered this stuff, so when I got it in the mail, I wasn't sure what it was. However, I could actually smell this stuff THROUGH the packaging, so I soon remembered.
